Q: i need advice on what to say to my roommates about me moving out in december/january.

heres background info.

me and 2 people have an apartment together for college because the school doesnt have dorms. we were supposed to get a 4th roommate cause its hard to pay rent with just 3, but it never happened. i've hated it here from day 1. they both ditch me all the time, they are inconsiderate and selfish, and its almost impossible to make other friends because we are off campus. i'm 110% positive i want to leave, i just dont know how to tell them. they will hate me because theyre gonna have to find another roommate or pay extra money each month. please help!! im nervous and idk how to confront them about it :/
There is nothing you can do about how they will feel or treat you once you tell them that you're moving out.

What you do have control over is doing the right thing by telling them as soon as possible so they will have time to make other arrangements.

Tell them what you've told us here...(short version). Just say look, I'm not really happy living here and am going to make other arrangements. I will be moving out on _______(date). I am letting you know now so that you can find another roommate. I don't want to make this hard on you two. Also, I would like for all of us to act like adults about this and treat each other with respect during this time.

Once you do that...the ball is in their court. They will behave like adults, or not. Either way, you'll know that you did the right thing.

Good luck,
Jada

thanks

If you don't like the answer...don't ask the question!

Girls like us don't come along often. Like us and you'll grow to love us. Hate us and you're just wasting your time. You can't beat us and you sure as hell can't join us...
